Go USCG Icebreaker. In 1972 I was on a Coast Guard Ice Breaker, USCGC Burton Island (WAGB 283), that was in Antarctica and saved some scientists stuck on Mount Erebus in Antarctica.

There was a guy on the radio today who said he was on a Coast Guard Ice Breaker too. He said he was at the north pole and the south pole so he calls himself "bipolar".
